How is the "little monkey?"
Emotional Intelligence still off the charts?


Quite unfortunately for you, I do know (as the Mods are aware). Fortunately for me, you are too full of yourself to understand that it's `game over.'

Mods - do not forget to deactivate my account so I can proceed against the multiple-ID poster.

Wanted to ask about that - if I copy & paste, like above, would it increase their hits or something? If so, best that I just say something like go to their FAQ or Home Page?

You miscalculated. $245/10 pages = $24.5 per page = at $5 writers are being ripped off.

Not for EW - they hire indiscriminately. For every one good writer there, how many terrible ones are there?

Just went through their site. Nothing fancy but communicates honesty and professionalism.

With regards to copyright, doesn't Google have a policy of not indexing duplicates, or something? Have come across a number of sites which are completely, 100%, plagiarised from others. Yet - they insist that the research projects they provide are plagiarism-free and thoroughly checked via `special software,' created just for them.


Remember when writers were asked to `sing up'?

I agree. The fact that the industry is currently inundated with many who should never be allowed to write in English (including non-professionally), does not dispute the fact that some are PROFESSIONALS.

Being a professional academic writer is not (contrary to popular assumption) an easy job. It requires discipline, education, excellent language skills and an in-depth knowledge of the different types of citation, etc etc. I have come across writers with excellent language skills and very good academic qualifications (both Brits and Americans).

They were not, however, capable of writing a professional academic research:

1) citation styles messed up
2) poor use of sources
3) no adherence to instructions
4) incapable of distinguishing between scholarly and non-academic sources ...

So, yes ... the good ones are professionals and, they are far and few between.

With absolutely no effort on my part, the geniuses reactivated my account, assigned me orders and allowed them to expire :) Can you imagine what they would do with a little bit of help? :)

I just got fined by EW :) I think I opened an account with them 2 years ago and picked up one order. Don't believe I logged in more than 4 times over the years and not once this year. They decided (last week) to assign me something like 5 orders, without even notifying me. I received a couple of "you have a message on order xxx" emails from them, so logged in to see what was going on. Found the orders, proceeded to blast them and demand reassignment and the immediate deactivation of my account. They responded that they will reassign. Two days later, I received another set of emails from them - logged in again. Found messages saying that I was late with the orders and they will be fining me 100% especially as I had confirmed that I had 1) requested the orders and 2) had confirmed that would work on them :) Directed the stupid Admin person to 1) their message stating that they had assigned me the orders because I had been inactive for a while (2 years); 2) my message telling them to remove the orders asap, never assign me orders and deactivate my account; and 3) their message confirming that they would. The stupid Admin person replied that they will still have to fine me because I should have noticed that the orders were still there and reminded them :):)

Considering that I do not and never have worked for them, I would love to see how those scammers are going to `collect' their fine :)

How about compiling a comprehensive list of the following:
1) Websites which do not represent an incorporated and legitimate company;
2) Websites which lie about their date of formation (number of years in operation);
3) Websites which falsely claim to be British/American
Etc ...
Basically, a single thread which lists all these companies. Would help both writers and customers and save them the time/effort needed to read through several threads just to access this info.

As I was reading through their webcopy, I really did not know whether to laugh or cry. Not only are they very obviously, very poor ESL, but the copy is senseless:"

"UK Dissertation Writing Help - For Those Who Are Serious To be Graduated!
How Awesome Would It Be Watching Your Love-Mate, Friends and Family Clapping For You When You Hold Your Degree At Your Convocation That Came As a Result of That Masterpiece Dissertation?

Don't have enough time to concentrate on your hectic dissertation writing assignment because of your long-hour job? Wanna relax and spend your remaining time with your family & friends?" From: ukdissertation.co.uk

This is especially horrifying (ukdissertation.co.uk/dissertation_help.htm)

"Below you will find a dialogue between our custom support representative and a confused student seeking for dissertation help. This dialogue will help you how to investigate the legitimacy of any "Dissertation Writing Service".

Read how our customer support representative helped a DISSERTATION HELP SEEKER by telling him the ways on what to look for in dissertation writing service before deciding to pay any money:

Dissertation Helper: Hello, this is Carolyn for dissertation help. May I help you sir?
Dissertation Help Seeker: Miss, actually I m doubtful about where you are based? Are you really UK based as mentioned in your website?
Dissertation Helper: Sir obviously we are ... But don't you doubt, if even we are UK based, can't we be ESL (those who speak English as a second language)? Or if not then can't we hire "cheap freelance ESL writers" online to do your work?

Dissertation Help Seeker: What the hell? Are you there for promoting your service or creating doubts in my mind about your service?
Dissertation Helper: No Sir, actually I am trying to make you understand and help you figure out the important features of a legitimate "Dissertation Writing Service". Only by claiming that someone is UK based doesn't mean that they are going to deliver you the quality it is because of the following reasons:

1.Most of them lie and buy a virtual physical address to show that they are UK based...
2.If even they are than what are the guarantees that they are not foreigners or they have not hired foreign freelance writers on cheap rates?

At the end of the day, what customers are concerned about is the paper's quality and the security of their money!
Dissertation Help Seeker: So am I Carolyn! How can I believe that you are going to provide me the quality ensuring the security of my money even if you are UK based? I wouldn't have asked this question if you didn't create doubts in my mind! :)

Dissertation Helper: That's a wise question sir! That is what I wanted you to ask me or any dissertation writing service whatsoever :)

Dissertation Help Seeker: So what's your point? What's the proof that you are going to provide me with the paper quality?

Dissertation Helper: Well it's all simple. Despite the fact that we are UK based, we do not only base this fact to prove our service credibility... We satisfy our valuable customer by offering "Dissertation Ideas Service (Value £ 299)" absolutely FREE OF COST. The service includes the following features:

Dissertation Helper: You are always welcome sir! We'll be waiting for you as we firmly believe on your quality! Have a Good day!

It seems one can incorporate a company in Delaware for under $1,000. Better than in the UK where the going rate is 39 GBP!

From where I am standing, I think this goes way beyond scamming - this is unfair competition and a violation of Fair Trade laws. Look at it this way - those of us who are actually answerable to UK or US law have to:

1) pay taxes;
2) update the relevant instititions re any changes made to the company's structure (with us it is the Companies House) and ensure that our records are up to date or we get fined;

3) actually adhere to consumer protection and sales/supply of service laws;
4) respect fair employment laws
5) satisfy our guarantees or else we get into trouble
etc etc etc
It is not just a question of our overheads being much greater than those scammers but it also means that we do not have the freedom to LIE (thousands of writers, countless customers, etc etc) which they do. How many customers are attracted to their sites on the basis of LIES?

Another thing - our rates are higher than theirs because of our overheads and the quality of our writers/researchers - but what do customers know? Masterpapers is in Albany, New York (!!!!!!!!!!!!) and is an American company, just as is any other GENUINLY AMERICAN COMPANY. Do consumers know this? Many do not, so it comes down to chosing between two American companies (joke) on the basis of rates!

Yes - I do believe that the majority are fly-by-night operations and will get bad mouthed out of business (eventually). BUT I really really do not get how supposedly responsible governments are allowing this!

Disgusted more than shocked ...

First of all, thank you for the tone of your posts - you were very gracious in face of criticism.
Secondly, I still think that the name, EssayNinja, is just absolutely silly and I want to explain why. Here goes:
1) Meaningless;
2) Communicates an image of aggression and violence as opposed to the soothing one which we, in the industry, try to communicate to nervous students;
3) Does not give the impression of educated, civilised and cultured writers/researchers but that of masked ninjas flying through the air, kicking people in the teeth and breaking a few ribs and bones, here and there;

4) Within the context of this industry and the service which we offer, it is irrelevant and defies logic.
The reason why any of this is, at all, relevant is simple: our profession is the `word' - we are writers. What we say is supposed to communicate meaning or, at least, make a semblance of sense. When we, or any in this industry, fail in the simplest task of all (appropriate and meaningful word choice), what does that say about us or about our understanding of the meaning and power of words/language?

Would you not think it rather silly were I, or any other, to name our sites:
SamuraiEssays
WWFessays
WWEssays
WrestlerEssays
KarateEssays
SenseiEssays
BoxerEssays
KickBoxingEssays
MartialArtsEssays
BashMyFaceInEssays
Etc etc?
NinjaEssays is no different from any of the above names.
With regards to your first post and whether or not it is `spam' - I stand by my earlier assessment. Yes, I realise that there are varying opinions here and appreciate that the other side has made valid points. However, the latter part of your post was promotional in intent. You directed readers to your site and asked that we read the testimonials, etc etc. If you did not intend that, I apologise for misinterpreting your intentions but can only judge on the basis of the message ultimately communicated (and not the underlying purpose).

Regarding my handle (because you mentioned it), I want to explain something. Not a single one of my websites (relevant to this industry) has `oxbridge' or `researchers' in it - let alone both :)

Essaywriters has a number of excellent writers, some of whom are members of this forum. They are a minority, however. As for the majority - they have no business writing in the first place.


With some wonderful exceptions - their writer rates are a measure of their writers' quality. One question: would an educated and qualified researcher/writer work for $2? Answer: No.

Answer:


Which part of your post was spam?

Dont even go there. I did not personalise the issue so don't go there - you do sign your name LAWRENCE SALAZAR, when communicating with clients, don't you? I more than know what I am talking about :)


I can honestly say that I never wrote an F paper in my life :) By your own confession, you wrote several. And, by popular consensus, you should never be writing professionally in English.

Pheelyks and Cocklejoe are absolutely correct in their assessment of your English language writing skills. They are not being snobbish but are simply stating a fact. I personally know it to be a fact because when I was with Academia, I picked up more revisions of your work than I care to remember (they were signed L...ce Salazar [Laila], not Solomon). I have the pdf screenshots of the order panels, if you would like to see them.

Fracturegang - the problem is not you, however. I understand that you applied for particular job, landed it and are performing your required duties to the very best of your ability. As none of the revisions which I personally picked up from you were plagiarised, I believe that you are honest with clients and are putting in the necessary effort. As I said, the problem is not you at all. It is far more serious that that ... it is the companies which hire researchers to write professionally in English despite the fact that their language skills are weak. They do so just to fill their ranks with minimum-wage writers. In more cases than not, the company managers and directors are incapable of evaluating language skills because they, themselves, barely speak English.

I am not against ESL writers because many are absolutely wonderful and fully qualified (both in terms of education and English language writing skills). As for those who are not qualified to write in English, I assume that you would make very good writer-researchers in your native language. Stick to what you are good at.


You just proved my point. Thank you.

I beg to differ!


Three graduate degrees and superb writing skills ... what more could one ask for?

You've surpassed your mentor :) Maybe SupaTeach will take pity on me and give me a few English lessons? Then I could snag a few awards!

So ... take pity on my pathetic, awardless state and throw a few BEST WRITER ON THE PLANET certificates my way :)

In some cases it is easier than you think :)

As good as A-R :)

If you are referring to me ... I definitely am not linked to A-R. Was commenting on SWreg ... as for A-R's being good ...

One more idiotic name and I will commit harakiri - the honour of an entire industry is at stake here!

I thought you were joking but then I clicked the hyperlink! They are seriously SERIOUS! How about the Nigerian government apologising to the thousands upon thousands who fell prey to the Nigerian scam ops? How many retirees were taken in? But they want an apology over a SciFi movie!

also known as suicide-by-essay.com

I'm going to learn :)

I agree. Criticisms here are based on quality, honesty, etc and not on race/nationality ... To criticise a `writer' for his/her screamingly evident inability to construct a proper and intelligible sentence in English, is not a negative commentary on the writer's nationality or race (despite the fact that some have interpreted it as such, at times) but on the sheer guts it takes to offer a professonal service in a language which one has no command over.

As for sites which claim one nationality but are actually another - criticisms are based on the inherent dishonesty of it all, and should not be construed as an attack upon the site's real nationality. When site managers/owners deem the promotion of blatant lies appropriate, that should be interpreted as a clear indication of commitment to dishonesty. If the website owners were confident in their ability to deliver that which they are being paid for, they would not need to lie about country of nationality or hide behind false and assumed personas.

Two questions:
1) Writers - if you are denied your dues by a company, what can you do about it when you do not even know who you are really dealing with?

2) Customers - when the work you paid for is of abysmal quality/plagiarised, etc ... what can you do about it if the company and its owner(s) are located in a jurisdiction which is beyond your reach (that is, supposing you know where it's actually located in the first place)?

So ... when writers and companies are attacked, they are attacked because they are 1) dishonest or 2) have no place in this industry. The fact that they are one nationality or another is totally, absolutely and completely irrelevant.

SupaEgo has no doubts about that :)


More accurately - how many sites have you single handedly `destroyed' with your supa-dupa writing skills? And ... how many university students were sent back to kindergarden after submitting one of your top-of-the-line supaessays?


I could pick out a few more supawriting examples but, frankly, got bored :)

You have accused American-Writer of racism. The only one guilty of racism in this thread is you ... just look at this statement:


You assumed, without ANY justification or reason, that any and all reference to Africa MUST have a negative connotation and a racist undertone. Your assumption is not merely groundless but, unfortunately, speaks volumes about your own attitude towards race.

The reason why forum members expose the nationality of websites and go on about this or that nationality is simple: some claim to be British when they are Pakistani/Kenyan/Chinese, etc., others claim to be American when they are Ukrainian, etc etc. It is really not nationality which is the issue here but the concealment and lies. Were a Pakistani company to come out and say that it was Pakistani and dedicated to the delivery of quality work, etc ... few would attack it on the basis of nationality.


I thinkthat would be interpreted as a `recommendation' ... against the forum rules.

Everybody has award winning writers .. everybody EXCEPT ME! Where do they get these award winning writers from and exactly what kind of awards are we talking about?

If only your writing skills matched your ego ...


If any read that `delightful' webcopy and still place an order, they do not deserve a refund :)

Good one, Pheelyks :)

Supawriter probably personalised the issue and tried to play around with the thread's intent and meaning for 1 reason: s/he is from Kenya, as are the sites mentioned above. I rather believe that s/he is associated with the `gems.'

Supawriter: the quality of the webcopy is a very good indicator of the probable quality of the sites in question.

I sometimes use SWreg to pay writers. If the writer has requested a cheque payment, there are some delays. PayPal, wire transfers, etc. are processed on Tuesdays. If there are sufficient funds in the PayPal account, payment shows up within 48 hrs. If not, delays can run up to a week. Wire transfers take about 7 working days. As you are talking about a six week delay, the only explanations are:

1) the batch file uploaded by Academia did not contain your payment or your payment details were incorrectly entered
2) Academia did not process your payment in the first place
3) if you have opted for PayPal, the notification may have gone through to your spam folder, in which case you may not have caught it and accepted payment

UK law treats neither unpaid wages nor salary deductions lightly. An employer (including part time), can only deduct wages with the statutory power or agreement of the service contractor/employee or part timer.

Should an employer act unilaterally and deduct wages/refuse to pay wages without the consent of the employee, the employee may 1) take the employer to the small claims court or 2) apply to an employment tribunal. Both the small claims court and the tribunal have, more often than not, found in favour of employees and ordered employers to pay up all sums owed/deducted as well as costs (and any other compensations) for unlawful and unreasonable deduction of wages or denial of fair, and agreed upon, compensation.

I would imagine that the US has something similar - or laws which safeguard employers?

The point is - something can be done and it should be done. If one or two writers were to stand up to this type of unlawful behaviour, companies in this industry would think twice before engaging in such blatant and completely illegal violations of fair employment law.


Scratch the above post ... you are right.

WB - what I really do not understand is why the writers put up with it? Some of them are ideal victims and their continued passivity keeps Yuri and Alexey very very rich, indeed.

What does that even mean? What does the termination of a writer's account have to do with any company's paying the writer his/her dues? To withhold pay is a direct violation of the most basic employment/service provider contract in the UK and all across the EU. I am pretty certain that it is not legal in the US either. Considering, however, that writers simply put up with this sort of treatment, I really cannot blame EW or any other company for taking this route. Why shouldn't they deny writers their due when they are never called to account and have never had to pay the piper? Boom, I am sorry but I really do believe that you and other writers are to blame. Some of you are horrendously passive about all of this. Take a look at Rusty or E-W ... they repeatedly stated that they stood up for their rights whenever they were violated and, by doing so, rectified the situation.

Yes - in the UK we are obliged to publish our registration number, registered address and all relevant contact info ... not sure about the US.

Returning to the UK's requirements, it seems that more and more company websites are ignoring this requirement. Only to be expected, considering that the Companies House, in all its wisdom, has allowed all and sundry to simply log on and register a UK company online. What do they care if the `directors,' owners or company officers have absolutely no ties at all to the UK and are totally beyond the reach of the law? So ... some have to apply the law or get taken to the cleaners while others get to call themselves `British' companies without having to satisfy any of the associate legal obligations. Really fair, right?
